rolling dough

I recently bought a bread machine  :)  .  The other day I used the machine to make the dough for herb knot buns .

Everything was fine until I took the dough out of the machine and after cutting it into strips it was impossible to roll the dough into long snake like strips on my kitchen counter .  I lightly floured it as directed but the dough just seemed to slide  across the counter instead of letting me roll it back and forth .. Is there something i can purchase that i could roll the dough on ?  I have a very tiny counter space so size would matter .
